Indepth training in the analytic skills of experimental design(see PSYCH 389-399, 499A/B/C). Students address problems of human motivation, memory, social relations, communication, and many other human capacities and dispositions by translating them into solvable empirical problems. This also entails critical evaluation of the bases of claims about human abilities and inclinations.

If you were admitted to the Faculty of Arts prior to Fall 2016, you are assumed to be following the Academic Calendar of the year you were admitted unless you have requested to switch. For plans prior to Fall 2016, see the requirements for the "Old" Honours Psychology degree.

BA Breadth requirements:

Any 2 of the psychology courses (1.0 units) taken for the psychology Major will also satisfy 1.0 of the 2.0 units required in the 'Social Science' category. You must complete at least 1.0 units in the Social Science category from a discipline(s) other than psychology.

As a result of that overlap in requirements, you will only require 4.0 units in addition to your Psych major requirements to satisfy the BA Breadth Requirements instead of the normal 5.0 units.

Counting courses taken to fulfil a major or minor plan (including the Psych major) towards Faculty of Arts Breadth Requirements does not qualify as double counting and are not subject to double counting rules.

Arts and Business requirements:

Students enrolled in Honours Psychology Arts and Business must also complete their Arts and Business requirements.

See the undergraduate calendar for details about the Arts and Business requirements. Note that PSYCH 292 covers the statistics course requirement for the Arts and Business program.

Residency requirements and transfer credits: You must not exceed the amount of allowable transfer credits (including internal and external transfer credits) and you must satisfy the residency requirements for both the Faculty of Arts and the Psychology Department (see Psychology Department polices for details).

'Triple counting' is not allowed under any circumstances. This means that a single psychology course cannot be used to satisfy psychology course requirements in more than 2 programs (e.g., Major plus 2 Minors).
